hCard tests
The hcard and hcalendar tests collection was announced in a Jun 7 2006 message from RyanKing.
They are published at http://microformats.org/test/hcard/. Each test has an HTML file to parse and a vCard file which describes the hCard data contained in the HTML file.
It's managed in an hg repository. hg/mercurial is a distributed revision control system. It can be a little tricky to unlearn cvs habits; there are some good diagrams in slides from a 19 Jun talk that Bryan O'Sullivan gave at google. The mercurial presentations page also has a link to a 50 minute video.
An x2v hg repository holds code that, by design, passes the tests. x2v-issues is a place to track issues in that code.
External Tests
These tests have been obsoleted by the above test suite.
DanConnolly is working on hcardTest.html; the current version is always available. (I dunno why cvsweb uses the ordinary looing URL for the changelog rather than the current version.)
MarkPilgrim maintains a series of hCard tests for use with his hCard parser
